About this Episode
The many faces of Lopata |
Dan Lopata has been chasing Massanutten Mountain 100 in some form or another for 14 years. He finally got what he wanted, but it took a lot of introspection and team work with an awesome crew member to get it. Just like Dan's MMT 100 finish, it takes them a little while to get there but, in this episode, Dan and Amy Lopata share their adventures running and the thrilling tales of some serious stupidity in the mountains of Virginia.
